5/7 for me.

Re: Seven days quiz
4/7...I guess last week's 6/7 was a high-water mark for me.
Oh, and I didn't want to say anything about this last week because I couldn't mention it without posting a spoiler, but I wanted to point out that the in one I got wrong last week--the one where the FIFA official supposedly said that in the future competition would take place "in outer space" (the "correct" answer)--they quoted the official as predicting "interplanetary" competition. Competition between inhabitants of different planets doesn't mean that the games will be played in "outer space" any more than competition between inhabitants of different continents means that the games will be played in the middle of the ocean. I know it's a fairly minor quibble, but this bit of scientific illiteracy coming from the BBC really annoyed me...and not just because they marked me wrong for my guess.
In fact, since all of the possible answers given on that question were wrong, I'm retroactively changing my last week's score to 6/6 rather than 6/7.

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Re: Seven days quiz
If you select the first option every time you'll score three. Thus far the results of my cunning plan are not encouraging

I'm spending more time reading The Daily Mail; I think it's proving beneficial.
